I feel as though the outer part of my nose is much bigger than most females and I have a curve between my nose and upper lip. I have already had rhinoplasty to remove a hump from the top of my nose. I am still unsatisfied with how my nose looks from the side.
Maybe some clarification might help with some of the posted answers. The ala can be modified easily with small incisions typically hidden in the junction where they meet the face, or near their base. That is a common part of many rhinoplasties. Whether you see too much flaring on the front view, or too much width to their insertion, that 's a step that most rhinoplasty docs are comfortable with, and trust.
Your picture does not show that frontal view so it's impossible to see if that is your situation. What the side view does show is that your remaining ala appear somewhat thick and sebaceous, especially after refinement you see in your tip. That also has a described surgery to "debulk" the ala, but in my experience that has pretty unreliable results. Either irregular, or unimpressive changes. If that is your concern, I would agree with others that you might not want to pursue more revisions.
Your other concern, about the curve between the nose and the upper lip is probably a simple fix, but should be evaluated in person. Good luck.
I recently had a second rhinoplasty with rib cartilage!The surgery turned out very well. I recently started noticing this small bump on the right nostril. The bump is on the side next to my tip. Idk if it is an actual bump or if my skin inside my nostril is swollen. The other side looks fine. I was just wondering if i have anything to worry about. It has been almost a month and a half since surgery. I get a slight stinging pain sometimes in both my nostrils. Wat are some signs of infection? TY!
You do need to follow through with your surgeon because a simple examination may answer your question immediately. But infection is rare, especially when the grafts are all from your own body. A month and a half is still early enough that even routine swelling is a possibility. So don't think the worst, and share your concerns with your surgeon as early as possible.
My original PS, is going to perform my revision augmentation of the radix and bridge using donor cartilage from my ear. He says that I do not have to be under for this procedure? -Is this normal and or safe? -My original surgery was an open augmentation? Thanks
There are three components to this answer. ONE is the technical part, with the point that it can be done under local fairly easily. Probably means your revision is relatively straight forward.
TWO is the comfort issue, of both you and your surgeon. Both must be okay with this. Obviously your PS is fine with it, but you must be as well. If not, make other plans. That is something to fully discuss with the doc before you get in the OR. Sometimes even a light oral sedative can be added just to take the edge off, creating a level of relaxation that suits both of you.
THREE is the financial part. Most docs will provide revision rhino services to their own patients (if done within a year) for free. However the patient will still be responsible for the OR and the anesthesia fee. So it may be that your surgeon is working from this perspective, and trying to limit any additional out of pocket expense that you must take on for revisions.
All these issues are normal concepts for discussion. Bring them up as early as possible with your surgeon, and not the day of the proposed surgery.
